Another orchid from last year’s Hilo Orchid Show. This year’s show is in a couple of weeks and I plan on visiting again. Might have to do a couple of months of orchid photos!

The Mock Orange next to the house is in full bloom and the bees have found it, though not in the numbers they used to. In the past, I would hear the bees before seeing them. Still, it’s always a pleasure to watch them industriously flitting from flower to flower, collecting pollen and nectar.

Heliconia rostrata is better known as the Hanging Lobster Claw Heliconia. I was trying to remember where I’d seen this and remembered it was in front of a neighbor’s house!
